New Orleans’s Hidden Gems for Restaurants, Bars, and Live Music | Eater New Orleans

"Elray Holmes’s Ray’s on the Ave is a local institution (even after it moved away from its original Avenue) in large part due to Holmes himself. He’s active in the community, holding frequent meal giveaways, and cooks some of the best traditional Creole food in the city. Go for the food, Saints games, happy hour, or live music, it’s always a good visit." - Lynn Wesley - Coleman
